At fifty I’m finally the person I always wanted to be.
In about a month, I will be turning fifty. As I look back I remember how I thought I was already too old to wear shorts, now, I am wearing them and I’m not worried whether I’m too old or what people might think or say. I’m pretty sure nobody is going to come and […]

In the New York Time’s OP-ED, Oliver Sacks wrote in his column how although at 81 he was still swimming a mile a day, his luck had run out after he learned he had multiple metastasis of the liver. The prognosis is grim, fatal and as he says his farewell and shares with us his life, […]

“When the going gets tough, the tough get going.” As if there were another option! But there is. The way each of us respond when a storm hits differs. You can hide under the covers and grieve allowing yourself to become paralyzed, or you can rev up the engine and fight fiercely to get through the […]
